That is one way but it has problems...
1) The object can only have a 6 character alphanumeric name, not 9.
2) Too easy for the sender to forget to change it back and thus introduce
more bogus info doing more damage than good.
3) With the message, it is automatically transmitted 5 times and stops.

I agree.  If SPOT is taken.  I like Lynn's POI idea.
